Hi. I’m a bit of a news junkie.
TikTok is fighting a possible US ban in January 2025 and was in court last week to argue the questions that you’re raising: https://www.npr.org/2024/09/16/g-s1-23194/tiktok-us-ban-appeals-court
Yeah, all vote tallies will not be released until after the polls close on Nov. 5.
Exercise your rights and register to vote if you haven’t done so already!
This CNN article links to the clips: https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/17/politics/jd-vance-kamala-harris-fascist/index.html
It’s a bit more nuanced than that. The article doesn’t talk about it, but this NYT article touches on how these Chinese sites are exploiting the de minimis exemption loophole to circumvent US anti-forced labor law, which companies have to comply with to keep their supply chain free of slave labor (Uyghurs in Xinjiang for example):
Lawmakers are flagging what they say are likely significant violations of U.S. law by Temu, a popular Chinese shopping platform, accusing it of providing an unchecked channel that allows goods made with forced labor to flow into the United States.

Hah nice catch. Fixed.
Huh? All federal judges in the US (Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges) are nominated.
Even at the state level, it’s a mix of election and nomination based on the vacancy.
Agreed. ChatGPT doesn’t like to cite sources. Microsoft CoPilot and Google Gemini do link to some sources, though not as accurate or thorough like Wikipedia.
From the article, attempts to improve things are blocked:
When President Joe Biden and Harris first took office, Biden rescinded the Trump-era zero-tolerance policy and established a family reunification task force that found that more than 5,000 families were separated under the policy.
More recently, the Biden administration worked with a bipartisan group of senators to craft a comprehensive immigration and border security plan that seemed to have buy-in from both parties on Capitol Hill.
But GOP support for the bill tanked after Trump indicated his disapproval of the plan.
Good catch. I’ve added it to the summary. Thanks.
Wow, thanks for the kind words, @A_A@lemmy.world. It’s nice to see such positivity on the internet, so keep it up!
I used to be the only poster in health, so it’s refreshing to see you post here as well!

Thanks. I’ve updated the post.
Thanks treefrog!
Appreciate the recognition, Flying Squid. And I’ll try to make it easier for people who skim.
The rescue’s reason:
“LDCRF does not re-home an owner-surrendered dog with its former adopter/owner,” Floyd said in her written statement. “Our mission is to save adoptable and safe-to-the-community dogs from euthanasia.”
Yep and as recent as 2014:
